Mr.. Hoar-Ag gain.

Senator HoAR in a recent speech said
ave (the RepublicansJ have got to
make il the law from Mason Il DIxON's
line to the Gulf, in those great empires
that are growing mp there, that wherever
the American flag floats every American
citizen shall cast his vote in freedom and
in honor and have it counted"
How about the reading and writing
qualification in Massachusetts and the
property qualification in Rhode Island
for voting? What about the employee
classes in the northern manufacturing
towns who are virtually coercci into
voting the Republican ticket? Mr..
HoAEs proposition has elements of alb
surdity and buncombe about it, but it
shows the sectional character OF his
party, seeing that were it in his power
he would have one set of laws for the
South and another set for the North.
In short, read between the lines his ut
terances indicate that disparity still regard
the southern States pretty much in the
light of conquered provinces, for which
such laws and regulations should be
made as would render them easy prey for
the Republican leaders 1t matters not
that it is not III the power Of Senator
iioAR and those who think with him to
carry out their programme. The will to
DO 50 abides with them and the evidence
they are continually giving Of that fact
furnishes the best of reasons why it is
the duty of the patriotic people of the
country to sweep them into political
oblivion.

Extravagant Expenditures for De

what the Son Of the Colombian
Agent Has to Say.
Ten Years More of Work at a Total
Cost OF s5oo, 200, 900.

NEW York. Nov. 25.-The alarming re-
norts which are constantly accommodating
concerning the Panama Canal, are beginning
to cause considerable anxiety in financial
circles both here and in Europe. The re-
port of Senor TANGO Armero, the agent of
the Colombian government, has also given
rise to considerable speculation being, as it
was the first time that official figures were
furnished the public from another source
than the canal company. The questions are
now asked on all sides, what has become
of all the money that has been subscribed%
and. s'Does the amount OF work so far ac-
complished account for the amount of money
so far expendedY
The Herald today publishes an interview
with Senior Louis franco, son of the Colon
bian government agent, who is conyersant
with everything relating to the Panama Ca
nal. which. he says, the Colombian govern
ment is anxious to see completed. He said:
"Since my fathers reporter part of it, at
least-has been given to the press | do not
suppose l would be held guilty OF indiscre-
tion If gave you my views on the subject.
First of all you want to know, you say,
what has become of all the money that has
already been subscribed. The best answer
can give to this question is the following
tabulated statement, taken from my fathers
report, of which have, l think. the only
copy which has thus far reached New York.
These figures will go far towards explaining
the reckless-to put it mildly-manner in
which the capital so far subscribed has been
frittered away:

Stoddard.

A large audience welcomed Mr.. John L..
Stoddard, at the City Hall last evening, in
his opening lecture Of the course to be given
In this city. The subject was Julius Cesar
and for an hour and forty minutes the lee
turer delighted his audiance in a brief and
eloquent account Of the great features OF
C@sars eventful career. After few intro
ductory remarks the lecturer spoke of the
greatest general of the world" as he ap-
peared to the world when about eighteen
years of age A description of his social
life, beautifully illustrated, followed and an
account of his brilliant conquests in Gaul
Germany. England and the Orient came
next. Caesar at war against Pompey, the
latter's flight to Egypt and the victorious
struggles for the world, together with the
marvels which Caesar accomplished were all
considered. The audience was made to sec
the central figure of antiquity" in the
many sublime efforts of his life and the pro
foundest interest was manifest as Mr.. Stod.
dard proceeded with his delightful story oi
the career of the warrior, statesman and law
giver of the Romans. The bloody scenes OF
the fatal Ides of March and the gathering Of
the populace before Mark Antony In the
Forum were lastly spoken of in an eloquent
manner. The lecture was beautifully illus
trated from beginning te end, and apparent
ly gave great satisfaction.

ATKINsoN's scHEM (.
Its Author unfoIds Its ADVANCES In
Second Letter.
He Says Canada Would Never Miss
the Provinces
And that We Could Get Them for
Fifty Millions.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-Edward Atkinson,
who wrote the Chamber Of Commerce let
ter advocating the purchase Of the Maritime
provinces has supplemented it with another.
He treats the subject as purely business
transaction and finds that.it would benefit
Canada because she would not miss the
provinces which are not naturally an integral
part of the Dominion. The debt, amounting
to s4O.per head of the million population Of
the Maritime Provinces could be rateably
paid by the United States so that the Domi-
MON could complete its railway. The Prov
inces would be benefited by being united
with New England in government as the
emigration Of their inhabitants would then
subside The country would be benefited
by American enterprise. The burden OF
taxes would also be lightened as they would
become liable to the United States for only
$40 per head. Great Britain would be bene-
fitted by the increase in purchasers for her
goods. With the building up Of the Prov
inces, the fishery disputes would cease; At
kinson thinks the purchase price would not
exceed fifty million dollars

CUTTING RATES.
The Trunk Lines Again Meet the Re-
ductIon OF the Grand Trunk.

The trunk lines Wednesday met the third
reduction Of the Grand Trunk Of Canada on
dressed meat rates. and will hereafter follow
that roads rates without formal notice. Gen
eral Manager Joseph Hiekson Of that COM
pany was in New York city, and he held
long conference with Commissioner Fink.
Vice Chairman George P. Blanchard was
present part of the time. The discussion
was friendly in character, but no agreement
was reached on the essential points OF differ
ence between the Canadian and American
roads. Mr.. Hlckson cooed gently in favor OF
harmony and disclaimed all intention Of pro-
voking contest OF rates. But he would not
yield one iota Of his position. He said that
the Grand Trunk only wished to secure its
proper share OF the dressed meat traffic, and
he thought that it should be allowed a
months experiment with its differential rate.
At the end Of that time he was willing to
submit to arbitration, and would even allow
Mr.. Fink to say what the differential rate
should be In case the Grand Trunk was
found to be securing too large a share Of
the business. He insisted that his road
should be permitted to test the question be-
tOlC ouDnAttAh6 ohJ POAhoASAe
to arbitration.
Commissioner Fink could only urge upon
Mr.. Hickson the inadvisability Of permitting
any one line to establish its differential rate
with view to making record" for sub
sequent arbitration. He stated that the
American lines were resolved to oppose such
a claim, and pointed ont that a waste Of
profit would be the result OF the Grand
Trunks attitude.
After Mr.. Hickson's departure Commits
sioner Fink, by virtue of the authority vest
ed in him, issued circular establishing rates
on the following basislfrom Chicago to New
York: Dressed meats and hogs in refrigerator
ears, AZ cents per 100 pounds; dressed hogs
Uncommon cars, 43; cattle, 254; sheep, 20
cents. These rates are from 81 to 81 cents
under the tariff issued on Tuesday. They
will take effect at once. The following was
added to the circular:
until further notice the rates on dressed
meats win be riade the same, and take effect
the same time via the lines of the Joint Exc
cutive Committee as via the Chicago and
Grand Trunk and Grand Trunk Railroads,
For corresponding reductions in live stock
rates special tariffs will be issued.
